So what you are saying is that you would have to check what the ip is, where
you are logged on, and manually update it at dyndns. How long does it take
for that change to be available to the web?

DynDNS would work on a Newton, except that I also run a background process
that monitor my dynamic IP address. As soon as it changes, the process
contacts the DynDNS server to update their database so that they always
point to my server. There is no such software on the Newton. Without this, a
user would have to manually monitor the IP address given to its network by
his provider and then upgrade the DynDNS database. Doable, but you might
have your system unavailable from time to time...
